I won't be in the area. The Greek will have to let me know what he thinks. He's probably too scared to man up and do bypass pipes though so you maybe wasting your time letting him listen to them

the very few people who know what center locks are will probably ask how you did it and you will have to say they are fake. i say skip them unless you want a real conversion

If they're dumb enough to ask after seeing lug bolts surrounding the centers, then they're not worth the breath of an explanation as to what they are

people dont ask those sorts of questions because they dont know, but rather to see how the owner aquits himself of the question.

kind of like this:

Baaaah. Vinyl crests. Now there's a good solution on a 100K car

At least put some Ralf Booths or something decent on there. You know you could put the center lock style caps on there without the red pin and it would still look better than 99% of the center caps offered. Quit trying to ghetto your car up with spray paint and vinyl. This isn't your Mini Cooper

That was pretty funny, but I can't remember the last time anyone even asked me about the centers. Is it not enough that you need to spend $1500 to get a wheel. Do we really need to advertise on the center caps for the wheel manufacturers too?

I don't really love the crest caps either. Two crests on the car is enough. Four more is overkill. I wish there were more options. I think DonCapeCod has the record for the most crests, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10.
